Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 1 (24)
24. Insiders
Although his ears were clearer, Xia Lin was still a little drowsy and weak. He squinted again as he lay down on the bed.
Vaguely, he heard Zhou Shuo talking to someone outside, his voice was very low. The other party spoke softly, as if begging for something, but Zhou Shuo just repeated: “No, no.”
Xia Lin gradually woke up and asked, “Zhou Shuo, who is outside?”
Zhou Shuo walked to the door and replied in a low voice: “Second Young Master, are you awake? Yu Luotong is here and said he wanted to come in to see you. Do you want to see him?”
Xia Lin was startled for a moment. He had never thought that Yu Luotong would come to the hospital to see him. But thinking about it carefully, I was injured while trying to save Yu Luotong in this life. In Yu Luotong’s position, it was only humane to come to visit him in the hospital.
He pushed himself up with some difficulty and said, “I’m awake, let him come in.”
Zhou Shuo quickly opened the door and walked in. He helped Xia Lin roll up the bed and put a pillow behind him to make him sit more comfortably.
Yu Luotong walked in, put the fruit basket in his hand on the bedside table, and then looked at the bandage on Xia Lin’s head, looking a little cautious: “Um…Xia Lin, is your injury feeling better?”
”Much better.” Xia Lin said, “You can sit down.”
He knew that Yu Luotong would feel that he owed him a favor because of this incident. With his character, he would definitely think about how to repay the favor in the future.
But Xia Lin didn’t want him to repay anything. His original intention was just to let Song Yan avoid trouble. Now that his goal had been achieved, he didn’t want to get involved in Song Yan’s affairs anymore, including his relationship with Yu Luotong.
But when Yu Luotong came to see him, he still had to have the proper etiquette.
So Xia Lin winked at Zhou Shuo, and Zhou Shuo silently withdrew.
Although Yu Luotong sat down on the chair next to the bed, he seemed a little at a loss.
He and Xia Lin had nothing in common, and the cold aura that Xia Lin exuded from the inside made him even more confused.
”Last night…” He thought for a while and finally plucked up the courage to speak, “Thank you very much. If you and Zhou Shuo hadn’t come forward, I’m afraid…”
”Don’t go to that place again.” Xia Lin interrupted him.
”Eh?” Yu Luotong looked up at him in surprise.
”Actually, Song Yan and I don’t agree with you going to work there, but you are determined and we can’t say anything. But you saw what happened last night. Even though you are very good at dealing with these customers, there are always some You can’t handle an emergency situation alone. If it happens again, I can’t guarantee that I can save you in time.”
Xia Lin said this from the bottom of his heart.
His mental age is now twenty-eight years old, and he is completely admonishing a simple-minded young man from the perspective of an adult. This society is too complicated. Even though Yu Luotong’s experience has made him psychologically much more mature than his peers, in Xia Lin’s eyes, he is still just a minor.
Yu Luotong could naturally feel Xia Lin’s kindness. He looked at Xia Lin quietly for a while, then suddenly his eyes became red and choked up: “I thought… you would look down on me…”1
Xia Lin was a little surprised that Yu Luotong would react like this.
His tone became gentler and he said, “Song Yan and I have no intention of looking down on you. Because Song Yan likes you, I…” He suddenly paused, thinking that Song Yan should He hadn’t really realized his feelings for Yu Luotong yet, so he just said it. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate?
However, Yu Luotong didn’t seem to notice the meaning of the word “like” at all. He just kept talking to himself nervously: “Xia Lin, I think you should have noticed that I am a gay. How can you do it so smoothly?” When I found that bar, I must be from this circle, I think…”5
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a “pop” sound coming from outside the door.
The two of them looked outside the door at the same time and saw Song Yan standing outside the door dumbfounded, the fast food bag in his hand falling to the ground.
